Pseudopachyscelis

SKOPIN (1962: 225) described the genus Pseudopachyscelis with two species included, Pachyscelis pygmaea MÉNÉTRIÈS, 1849 and Pachyscelis nitidula KRAATZ, 1882 . He did not fix the genus name by designation of a type species. The original description given by SKOPIN (1962: 225) characterizes the group. We designate hereby Pachyscelis pygmaea MÉNÉTRIÈS, 1849 as type species of Pseudopachyscelis .
